Our first excursion takes us to Poole, a bustling tourist
resort known for its large natural harbour and award winning
blue flag beaches. The town centre is situated in the
heart of Poole and stretches from the waters edge at Poole Quay
up to the Dolphin Shopping Centre which has over 100 stores
ranging from fashion, beauty to music and gifts. Much of
Poole's rich history still survives in the Old Town with an
exciting mix of smuggler's passageways and elegant houses built
by rich merchants in the 17th and 18th centuries. If you
fancy something to eat then there are plenty of cafes, pubs and
restaurants to choose from. After lunch we make our way
to the Victorian seaside resort of Swanage where the town has
kept much of its original character. The town's jewel in
the crown is its family friendly beach, sandy and gently
sloping. Swanage has the only beach along the Jurassic
Coast to consistently acheive the European Blue Flag
Status.
